VITAL ELEMENTS
Participation from You!!! Change will not happen without your
participation. Remember
Change does not happen overnight and should be implemented incrementally!
Change is comprehensive – small things add up! Keep a positive attitude! Focus on the existing resources you have! Implement the strategic plan. The City of Camden and the Downtown Manager
are here to help!
